Lama Dugh Trek, which starts from Hadimba Temple (more challenging trek due to high altitude, duration of 3-4 hours)

Drive up to Hadimba temple, which in and of itself is an incredibly beautiful place to see. After you have feasted your eyes on it, and have reveled in the spiritual experience, you can start the trek.
